THEIR SECOND WIND.


THEIR SECOND WIND.
A Flood Of Bills and a Cyclone of
Oratory im the House.
The members of the lower house seemed
to have gotten their second wind, after
three days recess, and the manner in which
they introduced new bills late in the after
noon yesterday, was sufficient to make the
clerks rustic and fill the reporters with a
fear that they would miss their SupperS.
There was constant grind for over two
hours. and it was near 6 O'Clock when an
adjournment was taken. The fun began
by the Introduction of lot of petitions
asking that the sale of liquor be prohibited;
public school scholars; that scholars in the
public schools be taught the effects of
alcohol and strong drinks. The petitions
were introduced by Donneily, Jones, of
Redwood, Nobles Costello, Hurd and
Walstrom. The clerks totals showed about
500 signatures to the petitions. Notice of
contest by Il. G. Merrill, OF Henmepin
county, for the seat now occupied by VI.
Gross, was filed. Merrill claims his cleo
ton by four majority. Flynn, of Morri-
son. introduced a memorial to congress
asking the government to set aside the
Fort Ridgely reservation, in Morri-
son county, for the purposes of
a soldiers home. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on federal rela-
lions. The ". C. T. u, of Browns Val
ley, petitioned for change in the law max
ing the age of consent for females is years.
The select committee on temporary rules
reported that the finance committee should
consist of 8 members; the railroad and pub
lie lands. Is each; judiciary, IL; grain and
warehouse. Is; also standing committee
of ON labor and labor legislation. It was
agreed to, and then Speaker Merriam
handed the clerk the list of house commit
tees. Instantly there was silence, and the
clerk-the strictest attention being paid to
him-read as follows:
